Islamic Republic bans non-Islamic cultural while it exports its own
May 11th, 2007 by City boy
It is not just the slutty hijab that bothers Islamic Republic. They have banned western haircut, ties, sugar and sugar cubes and imported tea.
Could this be the reason why this unidentified man torched himself outside Ahmadinejad’s office?
How about the Harasat, the security/moral police on university campuses across the country? They don’t just harass pro-democracy student activists on campus you know. The chief of Harasat at Razi Kermanshah University has apparently admitted to having an “immoral” relationship with a female student.
Oh, and for those with less creative imagination, that refers to him raping her while he had a weapon. Thankfully in that case after large number of students protested, the university was left with little choice but to admit to finding about the “immoral relationship” that the Harasat Chief had with a student, and dismissed him.

A women gets kicked in to the police car for taking her veil off in public
This is all while the Hijab crackdown has started in the city of Mashad where the public confronted the police when they tried to arrest a woman. Women are told to obey Islamic laws or leave Iran.
In other news, the police also remembered that there were other women right activists that they had forgotten to arrest from the women’s international day gathering in Tehran, so Zeinab Peyqambarzadeh (pictured), an active youth of the women’s right One million signatures campaign, was arrested yesterday and transferred to the Evin prison. Two other women right’s activists Maryam Hosseinhkah and Fatemeh Govaraie have also been summoned to the revolutionary court.
Women rights or infact human rights as whole seem to be incompatible with the Islamic culture that Islamic Republic approves of, for Iran.
This news comes right after the gender apartheid in Iran increases with a new set of guidelines that Islamic Republic has introduced for businesses and offices around the country. The plan, named “Increasing the Social Security” was introduced by Hossein Saffar Harandi the “Minister of Culture and Islamic Guidance” which tells how men and women should dress and act if they are to meet a person from the other sex through their working day. However it doesn’t stop there, it offers guidelines for how to plan offices and hospital buildings and their interiors, so they should not encourage the two sexes to come across each other accidentally!
Second Cultural Revolution or just the same never-ending Islamic Revolution?!

Islamic Republic’s recent foreign policy has been a mix. First, a non-existing immigration policy meant that 25,000 Afghan refugees had to be deported from Iran which caused furious demonstrations by the Afghans back home. I guess that doesn’t matter as long as IR exports it’s revolution and terror elsewhere. As if Iran and rest of the Middle East were not enough, it’s new target has been South America.
The well financed South American branch of Hezbollah which has been fueling on some 30,000 angry Jew-hating Lebanese immigrants from the Israel war and the Lebanese civil war, follows direct commands from it’s main funder, Islamic Republic. This was apparent in the 1992 bombing of the Israeli embassy in Buenos Aires, which killed 29 people, and also in the 1994 bombing of a Jewish cultural center in Argentina, in which 85 people were killed and more than 200 others injured.
The Argentian court held former president and current reformist figure Rafsanjani and 8 other Islamic Republic officials directly responsible for master minding this tragic act of terror.
All this is while Stop the war figures from CASMII and their beloved Labour party MPs like Lindsey German praise the Islamic Republic and talk about democratic processes by the “Reformists” - did someone forget that these reformists are currently lead by the terrorist sponsoring, mass murdering, Rafsanjani?
For how long will the British and American anti-war protesters support the Islamic Republic by taking a blind eye on what’s happening to their troops in Iraq and Afghanistan by the exported terror that was paid for by the Iranian people’s oil money?! I say it again, Oppose the war, but also condemn the dictators…












wow! no one does better than you in putting things in perspective. Good job and don’t stop blogging.
Thank you dear Frieda, your supportive comment means a lot.
City boy: Excellent. The Title of the Post sums it up. Frieda is right, don’t ever stop blogging.
Serendip, thanks! You are very correct. Our country is hijacked by this regime, they are telling the people to get out if they don’t wanna live by their rules! They are very close to their expiry date.
I am very concerned about Zeinab Peyqambarzadeh and the other women’s rights activists - do you think we should campaign for their release? We just started http://www.freehaleh.org and I think it would only be fair to include these brave young women too.
I think we should start a collective campaign demanding their immediate release - if it would do anything it could at least just increase a lot of awareness in the international world. I am including this in another post on Mideast Youth, hoping we could get enough people involved to start this big campaign.
What a great idea Esra, I am all up for it!
